Welcome!
I'm excited, this is my first post on my brand new web site! My plan for the site is simple, review how accessible music festivals or venues really are. I'm not an ADA expert, I haven't taken any classes or seminars I just live life on my wheels. I find it really interesting what some consider accessible and what others don't. Most of my posts will be complaints. Some will be worthy of praise. I of course appreciate any help I can get when attending a show or festival and we must not forget that. Something is better then nothing but there is that gray area sometimes where really I'd rather have nothing accessible offered because of how poorly organized or managed it is such as in the case of Bonnaroo 07.
I also hope to grow the site in the future to include reviews of durable medical equipment such as catheters, wheelchairs, shower seats, etc. Basically everything I wish I could find on the web but written by those who use it, not a marketing engineer. I'm also really tired of finding really lame forums where someone is looking for sympathy or apethy. I don't need to be pulled up, pushed maybe, but not pulled up. I want to focus on the positives of being in a wheelchair or living with a disability. Like how in the state of Texas we are exempt from paying sales tax on our cars IF we install hand controls. Or that you can qualify for all sorts of tax exemptions when you own you're own home or if you're renting. It may be the road less traveled but I'm confident their are many of you out there who are like me in that regard.
Please check back soon for my Unofficial Bonnaroo 07 Accessibility review. I'm only one voice of course so I'm sure you may have a different opinion but that's the beauty, we can all share our own experiences.
